Wu Sui sighed and gripped the main thread again with both hands.

"Brother-in-law, keep it up! Maybe the next hook will be a big catch."

Chen Yang stood to the side, holding a net bag, looking on with anticipation.

"Thank you, now get back to work."

Wu Sui used his waist to lift the line upwards.

I don't know if the red grouper had used up all its luck, but the next dozen or so hooks only yielded ordinary catches, except for the yellow bream which was a bit more valuable.

"This place is really nice, they keep delivering goods here."

Wu Gang peered around in the cockpit, his eyes glued to the screen, wishing he could run out and pull the cable himself.

Wu Sui didn't reply, mechanically repeating the action of reeling in the line.

Suddenly, the main thread in his hand sank downwards, the force almost pulling the thread out of his grasp.

"Holy shit!" Wu Sui cursed, quickly steadied himself in a horse stance, and gripped the main line tightly with both hands.

"What's wrong, brother-in-law?" Chen Yang was startled and quickly came over.

"We have a large shipment; this thing is quite powerful."

Wu Sui gritted his teeth, and the veins on his arms bulged.

The thing underwater was struggling frantically, even dragging the main line around and crashing wildly in the water.

Wu Sui didn't dare to pull hard, so he could only let out a little bit of the line following its force, and then pull it back when its momentum subsided.

After being pulled back and forth for a good five or six minutes, the dark shadow underwater slowly emerged.

Under the spotlight, Chen Yang gasped.

"My God, what is that? Is it a water snake?"

A moray eel, as thick as an adult's arm, was writhing wildly on the surface of the water.

This thing is irritable; its body twists and turns like a pretzel, and the several threads on the side are all tangled together.

Wu Sui struggled to lift it out of the water.

The moray eel opened its mouth wide, revealing two rows of fine, barbed teeth, and raised its head, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

"Sand eel!" Wu Sui, holding the line in his hand, took two steps back.

The so-called sand eel is scientifically known as the conger eel.

This thing is widely distributed, and it is said that it can grow up to 3 meters long.

The one he pulled up was a meter long and weighed about 10 kilograms, which was considered a large one.

The moray eel rolled violently on the deck, its tail slapping loudly, its large mouth searching for a target, seemingly ready to bite something off at any moment.

When Wu Gang came out of the cockpit and saw this situation, he didn't dare to reach out and remove the hook.

This creature is known as the "honey badger of the sea" because it bites onto something and won't let go.

If it bites you, it will tear off at least a piece of flesh, and it can even crack your bones.

With no other option, he went to find a knife, stepped on the sand eel's head, and cut its fins.

Then they used pliers to clamp its mouth and dragged it into the live water tank.

"Brother, you were too fierce." Chen Yang patted his chest, still feeling lingering fear.

He was terrified just looking at that thing, let alone trying to catch it.

"It costs tens of yuan per pound, and this one costs several hundred yuan, what are you afraid of?" Wu Gang wiped his sweat.

"But this thing is really dangerous. If we encounter it again, we'll either kill it or, like we are now, cut the wire."

Chen Yang nodded frantically. If he encountered this again, he would definitely be the first to stay far away.

Wu Sui shook his aching arms.

"This thing is too strong, it's making my wrist hurt."

"Want to take a break?" Wu Gang asked.

"No need, strike while the iron is hot." Wu Sui continued to pull the line.

After a few hooks, there was another strong pulling sensation.

This time it was a large bass weighing over ten kilograms, its silvery-white scales shimmering under the light.

The sea bass was jumping around on the deck. Chen Yang rushed over and grabbed it, but the sea bass suddenly swung its tail and splashed seawater all over Chen Yang's face, soaking him completely.

"Wow, this fish is really strong." Chen Yang wiped the water off his face, held the bass down, and put it into the live water tank.

Time passed second by second.

Wu Sui collected nearly a hundred hooks in a row, and the water tank was already quite lively.

Red snapper, yellow sea bream, black sea bream, and sea bass, all huddled together.

The moray eel and the barracuda stayed in a separate compartment, mainly to prevent them from killing the other fish.

Wu Sui plopped down on the deck, waved his hand, and gasped for breath.

"I can't do it anymore, I really can't. My arms feel like they're made of lead, I can't lift them at all."

Wu Gang had actually been watching from the sidelines, itching to see it all.

Watching Wu Sui unload the goods one by one, he couldn't hold back any longer. If he wasn't afraid of being too ruthless, he would have snatched them away long ago.

"Second brother, you take the helm, I'll take over." Wu Gang rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining.

"Big brother, weren't you worried about getting hurt?" Wu Sui teased, standing up with a smile.

"We were worried about a bad start, but now the water tank is almost half full, what's there to be afraid of!"

Wu Gang strode over and picked up the main line from the deck.

Wu Suile was happy to have some free time, so he stretched his limbs and went into the cockpit.

Wu Gang took a deep breath, gripped the main thread with both hands, and tentatively lifted it upwards.

"Wow, this is substantial!" Wu Gang's eyes lit up.

He used both hands alternately to steadily pull upwards.

The line was retracted very quickly.

With a splash, a fish burst out of the water and struggled desperately in mid-air.

Under the ship's searchlight, the fish shimmered with a dazzling golden light.

Chen Yang stood to the side holding a net, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

He pointed at the fish, his voice trembling.

"Brother-in-law, big brother! Big yellow croaker! We're rich! It's a big yellow croaker!"

This shout startled Wu Sui in the cockpit.

Large yellow croaker? That's the soft gold of the sea!

But the system radar only showed green light, not even a blue light.

Is it because it's too small and the system deems it worthless?

Wu Gang also shuddered, and almost dropped the main thread in his hand.

He quickly gave it a hard jerk, flinging the golden fish directly onto the deck.

The fish were splashing around on the deck, their bodies golden and quite large, probably weighing about two pounds.

If it's a wild yellow croaker weighing two pounds, that's incredibly expensive, easily costing tens of thousands!

Chen Yang was so excited that he jumped up and down on the deck, his face flushed.

"Brother, you're incredibly lucky! You landed a huge yellow croaker right away. How much is that worth?"

Wu Gang squatted down, his hands trembling as he reached out to grab the fish.

He leaned closer and stared intently at the fish's head and scales.

After watching for a while, Wu Gang's face, which had been flushed, visibly slumped down, like a deflated balloon.

He stood up irritably and slapped Chen Yang on the back of the head.

"You big yellow croaker! What are you yelling about? You almost gave me a heart attack."

Chen Yang covered his head and looked at Wu Gang with a wronged expression.

"Brother, what is that golden yellow thing if not a large yellow croaker?"

"Not all yellow ones are big yellow croakers. You should learn from this in the future. You're so easily startled, you're scaring your soul out of you."

Chen Yang felt so wronged!

His older brother was clearly more excited than him just now, but he's denying it now.

Wu Sui also came out of the cockpit, went over to take a look, and immediately laughed.
